These on-chain metrics support Chainlink price recovery
Chainlink’s supply on exchanges decreased by nearly 3% in the past two weeks per Santiment data. This is one of the metrics that supports a recovery in the altcoin.
The second key metric is Network Realized Profit/Loss. It identifies the net profit/loss of all trades in an asset on a given day. Analysts can observe whether traders are capitulating or taking profits, based on the spikes in NPL.
LINK traders have been capitulating, shedding their LINK holdings at a loss for nearly two weeks. Santiment data shows traders realized over $47 million in losses between June 24 and July 8, supporting likely capitulation.

Chainlink eyes over 10% gains
Chainlink trades at $12.46, at the time of writing, on July 8, Monday. The altcoin lost key support at $13.84, and LINK slid to its multi-month low on July 5, at $11.05.
The $13.84 level coincides with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of Chainlink’s decline from its March 11 peak of $22.86 to its July 5 low of $11.05, as seen on the LINK/USDT daily chart. LINK recently dipped into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $11.62 and $12.11.
Chainlink collected liquidity in the FVG and is likely to make a comeback to the lower boundary of the imbalance zone between $13.73 and $14.24. This marks over 10% gains in LINK price.
The next key resistance is the psychologically important $16 level.
LINK/USDT daily chart
A daily candlestick close under $12.54 could invalidate the bullish thesis. Chainlink could dip to support at the July 5 low of $11.05.
